Notes
Studio recording for 'Epitaph' (2004); rhythm/riff section. Guitar and amp confirmed by Equipboard and visible in studio photos. Pickup model inferred from live and studio era evidence. No evidence of pedals in studio chain for rhythm/riff. No time-based or modulation effects audible in riff section.

Difficulty
The riff section of 'Seven' is considered expert-level due to its high speed, technical picking, complex rhythms, and the need for extreme precision and stamina.
